  • the hour hand moves closer to the minute hand (e.g., clockwise) to apparently impact or squash the content, and then may move in the opposite (e.g., counterclockwise) direction before moving closer to the minute hand again. Each time the hour hand moves closer, the content gets smaller.
  • the hour hand may rotate away from the minute hand to a lesser amount than the prior iteration, so that the relative spacing between the ends of the hour and minute hands gets closer together with each tap.
  • the content of the graphical display is knocked down to reduce in size, and may eventually disappear.

  • the number of "knocks" necessary to reduce the notification in size or eliminate it entirely may range, e.g., from 1 to 10 knocks, although more knocks may be employed. Each knock may take from 0.25 to 2.0 seconds, or more or less, and may also depend on the size and/or content of the notification.
  • the arrangement of the hour and minute hands may be reversed, so that the minute hand moves to reduce or eliminate the notification.
  • Figs. 9A-9C illustrate an example 900 of revealing information, such as a notification.
  • the minute hand is shown at around 15 minutes and the hour hand is adjusted to "open up" to gradually reveal (e.g., grow) a notice, message or other notification (902, 904 and 906 in Figs. 9A-9C , respectively).
  • the content of the graphical display is increased in size in the reveal.
  • the specific placement of the hands and the notification may vary, depending on the content and/or size of the information being displayed.
  • the number of adjustments of the hour (or other) hand necessary to increase the notification in size may range, e.g., from 1 to 10 adjustments, although more adjustments may be employed.
  • Each adjustment may take from 0.25 to 2.0 seconds, or more or less, and may also depend on the size and/or content of the notification.
  • the hour hand may rotate away from the minute hand to a greater amount than the prior iteration, so that the relative spacing between the ends of the hour and minute hands gets farther away with each adjustment.
  • the arrangement of the hour and minute hands may be reversed, so that the minute hand moves to away from the hour hand to expand or grow the notification.
  • Figs. 10A-F illustrates further examples, which present physics-type simulations that can show apparent collision or influence of the physical watch hands with the displayed graphics.
  • Figs. 10A-C present images of a game showing the interplay between the physical hands and the display screen.
  • Fig. 10A presents a view 1000 of a ball 1002 or other object on the display screen, which may be bounced, dribbled, hit or otherwise apparently moved by adjustment of the watch hands.
  • the hour and minute hands may move upward like a flipper of a pinball game, e.g., by rotating clockwise and/or counterclockwise by between 1-45°.
  • the ball 1002 moves in an arcuate or other fashion, as shown by the dashed double arrow, giving the appearance that the ball is being moved by the hands.
  • Other scenarios are possible, such as dribbling a basketball, throwing a football, kicking a soccer ball, etc.
  • Fig. 10B illustrates an alternative game-type scenario 1010 in which the displayed image of the ball or other object appears to collide or otherwise contact one of the watch hands.
  • this apparent collision or impact causes the hand to move, e.g., in a counterclockwise direction as indicated by the dashed arrow.
  • Fig. 10C illustrates another scenario 1020.
  • the ball or other object appears to bounce up and down as shown by the vertical double dashed arrow.
  • the watch hand vibrates up and down, e.g., by +/- 5-10 degrees, in apparent response to the bouncing ball.
  • FIGs. 10D-10F illustrate a scenario in which movement of a watch hand causes an apparent reaction by the displayed object, such as a gravitational movement of the object.
  • a bicycle, motorcycle or other object 1032 presented on the graphical display appears to rest on the watch hand, which is pointing toward 3 o'clock or 15 minutes past the hour on the watch face.
  • the object 1032 starts moving towards the edge of the watch face. This gives the appearance that the bicycle or other object 1032 is going downhill. This process continues at point 1050 of Fig. 10F .
  • the watch hand now points toward 5 o'clock or about 25 minutes past the hour.
  • the bicycle or other object 1032 has now moved to the edge of the watch face.
  • the rate of movement of the bicycle may mimic what a real bicycle would experience due to the gravitational pull in accordance with the slope of the watch hand.
  • Figs. 5-10 use physical motion of the watch hand(s) as a means for expressivity, either alone or in coordinated operation with the graphical display. This enhances the functionality of the hybrid smartwatch, providing the user (e.g., the wearer) with an enriching user experience. It also provides information in an efficient manner, which can be specifically tailored to the user and/or the content while being unobtrusive to others nearby.
  • Fig. 11 is a flow diagram 1100 that may be performed by one or more processors such as one or more processors 120 of computing device 110.
  • the one or more processors identify information (e.g., content or notifications) that is to be provided to the user, for instance to inform the user about a condition, event or activity.
  • the processor(s) selects a particular expressive visualization, such as any of the visualizations shown in Figs. 5-10 .
  • the selection may include identifying a motion type, a frequency of movement, a range of movement, and/or duration of movement.
  • the expressive visualization may involve only one hand, or two (or more) hands. This may also include determining whether a haptic or tactile effect is to be produced by the hand(s).
  • the processors determine whether to concurrently present visual information on the graphical display along with the adjustment of the one or more watch hands. Not every expressive visualization necessarily includes the presentation of corresponding visual information on the graphical display.
  • the processors instruct or otherwise manage the mechanical movement control to adjust the hand(s), in accordance with the selected expressive visualization. This may include sending control signals to the mechanical movement subsystem or electrical pulses directly to micro-stepper motors to achieve the intended hand motion.
  • the one or more processors when it is determined that visual information will also be presented on the graphical display, the one or more processors cause the graphical display to generate the graphical element(s) thereon. This is done in conjunction with the expressive visualization of the hand adjustment. According to one aspect, the visual information of the graphical element(s) is synced with the mechanical adjustment of the hand(s), such as shown in Figs. 7-10 .
  • an emissive display such as an OLED screen, may be employed instead of a non-emissive display.
